Reputation tarnished at Ipswich a bit so may want to get back into a job After what he achieved at Grimsby & Shrewsbury.... he’d be much better placed hanging on for another job working for someone less eractic.

For the record I would also say that I don't think he would make a good manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to Ipswich working for a "stable" chairman and got peddled after 5 months so I'm not sure where you would consider a stable job.

He’s got enough in the tank to hang on for another job, where - subject to not being bottom of the league - the owner won’t sack his assistant manager and then him, after interfering regularly. We’re not an attractive proposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a very good point. If you come into latics, and take us up, but get the sack for finishing second. Your hardly gonna struggle for another job are you. Equally everyone in football knows your working for a very erratic owner. So are more inclined to give you another shot. Were becoimg the free pass that leeds job was/is. ‘Ah, can’t judge x on the latics job. Owner is a nutter’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we will be left with a succession of wannabee managers or foreign imports and absolutely no stability at the club. There must be a manager in waiting who can come in and get this club back up a division or 2 all it needs is AL to let the right person do it his own way. A bit of success will see a few of the fans who have deserted us in the last few years (I don't blame them one bit) jump back on board. I know you have said it many times but a plan wouldn't go amiss, and stick to it. This league is poor and with the players we have and a few decent additions in January we should be aiming to get out at the first attempt.

There’s an awful lot of stories coming out of the club, that he’s very interfering/authocratic. Now either everybody who has come into contact with him is wrong, or there is some substance to what they are saying. We have issues, some he’s helped with. Other he hasn’t.

For example, I was told the players were so pissed of with his ‘dressing downs’ that they downed tools. I’m still not having that. Some balance from other posters in the other direction would be nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe that was SC. So AL comes in with high expectations and the workforce don’t like it ? They have to pull their fingers out so kick off and leak bs that should it even be true should stay in-house. And just to clarify I’m 100% against him going on changing rooms (if true) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
